Are we really going to be separated from Anya? I very much want to see her. Write and tell me when she is thinking of coming. I shall have to make a trip to Astrakhan as well, so I don't know whether I should go to Moscow before or after that—I think I'll decide depending on when Anya arrives.

Well, until we see each other again. We had an absolutely chaotic week here, and I am so terribly glad that the holidays are over.

I embrace and kiss you firmly and also Maria Alexandrovna. Mama sends her regards.

Until we see each other soon!

Your Nadya

Has Filippov written you anything back? What an idiot!
